The problem is that SE is selling a Mac OS X client that is functionally broken and also drastically slower than the Windows version running on the same Mac hardware . As noted, a native OpenGL/OS X app makes all the difference, and SE has experience developing for OpenGL and OS X, but unfortunately they passed it off to Transgaming which delivered a lousy WINE-based wrapper for the Windows client.
Because they are not us. If the same situation happens to PC platform, there will riots for sure.
